Back in the 70’s companies like K-Tel made millions by selling compilations on records, 8-tracks, and cassettes. It was quite special. Really. No joking. You could find many of your favorite pop hits on one or two big vinyl discs. Unless of course you got suckered into buying anything from TEJ Records with their “remarkable soundalikes.” Just brutal.

A few year’s after Twilight Zone’s infamous Talking Tina and several years before the horrific Chucky, there was this – a real, honest to goodness child’s toy from Remco. To see this thing rocking in the corner in the middle of the night just might be the thing that would permanently drive the sane over the brink.
